Whew strike a pose. Yoga by Frederic's of Hollywood? I don't understand the functionality of the mesh leggings. I know this is inviting the "psh I think I rock these pants these girls look fab" and similar comments. Fine.But on that first gorgeous yogi all those pants make me think is just .... Why?

Agree with all - those pants look like hooker hose with a miniskirt. What's up with looking trashy lately? LULU. PLEASE stick to your classy designs. There are plenty of trashy trendy stores what makes you unique and keep customers coming back is your classic - classy - designs and great quality. Seems like you are losing lately on both accounts.

Agree, Lulu trys too hard to come out something "Not Only" athletic, but also street looking. This time it's just going too much and totally ruined its brand name, :/ I would not wear that mesh tight if someone pays me $108 lol.

So while I scrolled through these pics and laughed at everyone's funny comments, I ordered some stuff on sale at Splits59 and Athleta. I can't even remember the last time I bought something LLL. "hooker" tights, fugly mesh, dreary colors, bad design....I think the Kool-aid has left my body.

I agree that the mesh "pants" are ridiculous. Even on those super fit and pretty ladies they look bad.

I am confused that the peplum top is in so many photos. Is that still in stores?? I live far from any store, only can order online. I ordered that top online and it was the upload where lots of orders were canceled and I never got the top (I got the $25 gift card). If that top is in stores then I'm annoyed.

Oh, so glad I am not just being a middle-aged prude! I immediately went to "yuck!" on the mesh tights. But on the yum side, I wanted to give a shout out to the Magenta WAFS print. I have the CRB and just love it. The green strip goes so wonderfully with my Bali Breeze DSJ. And of course it looks great with black and with grey. Having so much fun with that one!

As a part of the pole dancing work out community - I would not wear those tights. Sorry, that much mesh in that area does not fill me with fitness confidence in the longevity of my pants (ie, IF I were to actually train on a pole with them, the back of the knees aren't going to hold out long). Plus they look trashy. Sigh. C'mon LLL, obviously you have a customer base willing to pay for quality and function - can we have that please?

Maybe Lulu is thinking, oh well, since our yoga pants are already semi-sheer, let's just go all the ways with it. Or maybe this is their revenge for the thousands of us who have complained endlessly about the sheerness of the pants and even went so far as to return them. Touche, Lululemon. Touche...

@anon 8:37pm - I do pole and no, even us "hookers" don't want the mesh tights either... so ugly and doesn't look functional. On a more serious note, we only wear leggings in warmups or if you don't invert, so targeting the pole fitness market with leggings doesn't make much sense to me. We need bras and shorts.

I tried on the new mojave vertical stripe skinny grooves today. I thought they were a cool, quirky look. But unfortunately when I tried them one, major camel toe or at least the illusion of major camel toe. I think something about the vertical strips and what happens when the fabric bends into the V of your crotch, it is particularly noticeable.

The tights are so ridiculous. They don't look like Lululemon at all, and I do not find that to be a good thing. And I was just in a store, (to return the icky Noir shorts), and an employee peppily told me that the tights are 'business in the front, and party in the back,' and wouldn't I love to try them on?? Um, no, actually... I truly would not.

I say this fully realizing that LLL does NOT practice what it preaches. This type of clothing and where the educators are posing in this stuff does not surprise me anymore.

It is completely hilarious to me that a company that takes its inspiration from YOGA, which is all about thoughtfulness, behaves so thoughtlessly. Wth with the hooker hose and then, lol, posing in the sketchy alley way (which is even unappealing when they pose there with nice clothes on).

My goodness, Laurent, knock some sense into the designers and the eds!
